Questions

Asked by

To ask Her Majesty's Government which projects in Merseyside received Big Lottery funding in (a) 2007, (b) 2008, and (c) 2009. [HL1992]

The Big Lottery Fund has advised that it has supported projects in Merseyside for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009 to the sum of £35,900,003.

A list of all projects located in Merseyside that have received funding in the requested years, and which is based on the location of the organisation delivering the project, will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses. Within the information supplied in the table, there may be additional projects delivered inside the constituency but where the organisation is located outside.

The table also includes the name of the applicant, the amount awarded and the Big Lottery Fund programme.

Asked by

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many projects in Southport in (a) 2007, (b) 2008, and (c) 2009 received Big Lottery funding; of those, how many were (a) health projects, (b) education projects, (c) environmental projects, and (d) charitable projects. [HL1993]

The Big Lottery Fund has advised that it has funded a total of 39 projects in the Southport constituency between the 2007 and 2009 calendar years. The total value of these awards is £968,993.

It is not always possible to categorise projects into the themes you have requested, as many large projects tend to be cross-cutting. For example the Growing Business project was awarded funding in 2007 to provide work experience centred on horticulture and environmental work for people with learning disabilities.

The Big Lottery Fund has committed to give at least 80 per cent of awards to organisations in the voluntary and community sector. Projects classified as charitable deliver a wide range of projects that can offer health, education or environmental benefits.

The table provides a list of the 39 projects based on the location of the organisation delivering the project. There may be additional projects delivered inside the constituency but where the organisation is located outside.
